The goal of dict.cc is to make it possible to share your vocabulary knowledge with the world. This is the main difference from other translation services - every user is encouraged to contribute to the Latin-English dictionary by adding and/or verifying translation suggestions. The resulting vocabulary database can be downloaded and used for free.

Besides browsing the dictionary or searching for English-Latin translations you can also ask and answer questions related to the English or Latin language using the translation forum. To improve your language skills try the vocabulary trainer.

Disclaimer: The correctness of the translations cannot be guaranteed (nobody is perfect), but all input will be checked carefully. If you spot an error, please report it using the info button [i] located next to each translation within the search results.

2017-11-06:15 years of dict.cc!
Still most of the technical innovations happen in the mobile world, on smartphones, tablets and other "smart" devices. New Android and iOS versions are being published constantly and new devices appear, meaning the dict.cc app has to be adapted continuously. Unfortunately the programming environment I've been using so far does not seem to keep up with all of the developments, leading to technical issues with recent Android versions. That's why I've been busy reprogramming the app from scratch in a new development environment. Most probably it will take me several more months of programming until I can start releasing this new app.

In the desktop online world the trend is towards more security and encryption. Browsers started to show warnings whenever data is transmitted without encryption, even if the data only consists of a search keyword for translation. That's why I needed to update dict.cc to use only secure transmission, which obviously had an impact on the self-compiled traffic statistics. It seems as if bot traffic (automated page request traffic) has receded greatly. That might not look so good in the stats, but basically it's a good thing as it improves server stability.

Here, again, is the yearly snapshot of the numbers to document the development of the contents of dict.cc:
1,149,830 German-English translations, 1,482,531 translations in all other language pairs combined, that makes an addition of 137,542 translation pairs in only one year! That's really an amazing accomplishment! And that's not even taking into account the tremendous amount of corrected and improved existing entries, or the now 1,068,521 audio recordings, the 1,072,700 inflection entries and the 234,520 illustrating images. Both audio recordings and inflections hit the 1 million mark this year! The team that made this possible consists of 244,443 registered users, more specifically of 32,025 contributors, and especially of the small core team of really motivated, hardworking and devoted top contributors, the heart and soul of dict.cc. That's your success! Thank you!

2017-09-21:Secure transmission (https) - part 2: dict.cc changed to a general https-secured transmission today. The link for switching back to the unsecured transmission has been removed.
